Maarten serves as the AI, Master Data Management (MDM), and Master Data Quality (MDQ) Manager for a leading retail chain in the Netherlands. With extensive experience across both national and international clients, operating at the intersection of business and IT, he’s a perfect fit for this ambitious organization.
Following a challenging SAP S/4HANA implementation, Maarten was tasked with enhancing master data processes and ensuring consistent data quality across the enterprise. This role provides a unique opportunity to strengthen the entire European operation, from sourcing, distribution, and supply to in-store sales and the overall customer experience, all centered around the SAP S/4HANA landscape.
Through smart data analysis and a strong understanding of operational realities, Maarten has already driven measurable improvements at the crossroads of IT and day-to-day business operations. Beyond refining data management processes, he also plays a key role in redesigning IT solutions, identifying bottlenecks and helping shape scalable, efficient systems that add tangible value to the retail chain’s performance.
No two days are the same. Working in such a dynamic environment keeps his role both challenging and rewarding. One day may involve tackling VAT or hazardous goods compliance issues, waste management, or the EU Deforestation Regulation; another may include store visits to conduct stock analysis and gather hands-on operational insights.
What truly sets Maarten apart is his combination of leadership, deep SAP expertise, and comprehensive data management know-how. Together with his team, he continues to deliver outstanding results, contributing directly to a smarter, more data-driven retail organization.
